RICH IN TIE LORD.
BY FRANC IS POWER CoBBE.

God draws cloud over each cleaning morn.
Would you ask why?
1t is because all noblest things are born
In agony.
Only upon some cross Of pain ana woe
Gods Son may lie; know
Each soul, redeemed from self and sin, must
Its Calvary,
Yet we should crave neither for JOY nor greif.
God chooses best;
He only knows cur sick ouFs best RELIEF,
And gives us rest.
More than our feeble hearts ean ever pine
For holiness,
That Father, in his tenderness divine,
Yearneth to blesl
He never sends joy not meant in love,
Still less pain.
Our gratitude the sunlight falls to- prove;
Our faith, the rain
In his hands. we are safe. We falter on
Through 'orm and mire;
Above, beside, around us there is One
Will never tire.
fed lie
What though we fall, and bruised and wound
Our lips ia dust?
Gods arm shall lift Us up to victory;
In him W. trust.
For neither life nor death nor things below
Nor things above
Shall ever sever Us, that we should go
From bis great love.

FOOD In THE SPRING.

In the springtime OF the year there is
great occasion for care in the matter of
food. The kind that has satisfied and
supported the body during the winter
has served its purpose and is 10 longer
fit for use. In cold weather the human
system can assimilate materials that
would clog and derauge it in spring.
There is no need for drugs to make PEG.
pie feel well when the things which have
remained dormant in the ground begin
to give signs of life. A iudicious change
of diet is required; that is all. 1t is bet
ter to take the materials for health from
the grocer than from the druggist. Begin
the morning meal with an extra allow
ance OF fruit. Take two sound oranges
or apples if you have been eating only
one, or three if you have been eating two.
Be sure there is no decay in the fruit
employed in this manner. Eat good
bread and butter. IL you are coffee or
tea dripker, moderate the usual allow
ance. IL you are a hot-water drinker
take as much as you like. If you are a
aesh-eater, take half as much as you do

WORTH AND WEALTH.

That riches are actually barrier to
success is made evident in new edition
OF a dictionary Of biography and mythol-
ogy containing 10000 names; among all
the greatest Of former times, and the
names of living celebrities all over the
world manufacturers and meI chants, as
we'll az poets, heroes, statesmen, etc. In
this volume, the space given to all the
men eminent only for wealth does not
equal that assigned to one man like
Shakespeare, Luther, Franklin or Abra-
ham Lincoln. All the RotEschilds and
Astors put together receive only as
many lines as are accorded to Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Cornelius Vanderbilt
received less attention than Paganini,
the fiddler, and a. T. Stewards niche is
as small as that occupied by Daniel LAM
bert, the fat man. And this apportion-
ment seems to be in strict accord with
the degree Of popular interest felt in the
various personages, Even the three rich
benefaetors, Girard, George Peabody,
Sir Moses Montefore, united, take less
room than John Wesley or Nathaniel
Hawthorne. There is a general signif-
canoe and something instructive in this
comparison; and the fact that rich lien
constantly try to secure regard and re-
membrance by public gifts or legacies is
a striking testimony to the trnth that
nearly all persons recognize. though it
be but tacitly, the superiority of other
titles to fame than the gathering Of riches.
The world, sordid as it may seem on too
close inspection, is after ALL governed in
the end by ideas rather than money. 1t
is doubtless frequently true that rich
young men, despite their advantages in
some ways, find it harder to win real dis.
tinction than their poorer fellows, but it
may be doubted whether wealth is any
more barrier to real success than poy-
erty is. More poor persons than rich be-
come famous, partly because there are
more poor people in the world. Then
there are various kinds Of success-even
failures that are successes all of which
lead toward progress by different roads.

NOVEL APPLICATION OF ELEC
TRICKY.

The covered street at Milan, now well
known as the Victor Emanuel gallery, is
rooted with glass and completed by large
dome, round the interior OF which runs
a chain of gas lamps. The lighting OF
these lamps at a considerable elevation
used to present some difficulties, and was
always a source of risk, until an arrange
ment was made for doing the work by
electricity. A miniature railway has
been constructed close to the gas burners
on which runs little electric locomotive
carrying wick dipped in spirits of wine.
When it is desired to light the burners
the wick is set on fire and the locomotive
started on its career. It flies round the
dome, rapidly kindling the lights, and
exciting much interest among the crowds
that assemble nightly to witness the per-
Torrance.

THE CoLoRs OF cANARIEs.


With regard to the yellow color of the
canary bird and its testimony to Mr. Oar
wins theory it is said that, after domes-
tication in Belgium, Germany and Eng
land, "a point with which temperature or
climate may have something to do the
birds threw up on the feathers small
patches of yellow of light color, and by
carefully matching those birds that had
the largest numbers of these patches the
breeders at length, and after a consider
able period, succeeded in obtaining
bright and uniform yellow color, more
closely resembling what are called the
"clear" birds of to, day. But the appli-
cation OF the phrase, canary color" to
indicate special shade of yellow, though
general, is not justified by the facts. Ca
naries OF pure breed are not to be found
of many colors. Whole breeds are green;
and, by feeding on pepper and other
seeds, canRries have been produced OF
cinnamon and coffee color, and even of
red; and, in the lizard variety, the bird
though yellow in the crown, is elsewhere
shaded and spangled in the most lovely
mauner-AH the Year Round.

although it does not open its bill; the
call is formed internally in the throat
and chest, and is only rendered audible
by resonance. Similar ways may be OBJ
served in many birds and other animals.
The clear, loud cali Of the cuckoo, &C
cording to Nicolardot, is only the reso-
nance Of note formed in the bird. The
whirring of the enipe, which betrays the
approach of the bird to the hunter, is an
act of ventriloquism. The frog also is said
not to open his mouth in croaking, but
to create his far reacbing sounds by the
rolling of air in his intestines. = Chicago

SIZE OF MOUNTAIN LIONS.

Mountain lions attain a prodigious
size. Specimens are often killed meas
uring nine feet from tip to tip and weigh
ing not far from $50 to 800 pounds. Many
more, measuring from ten to eleven feet,
in the clear, and perhaps longer, are
brought down by some lucky and daring
hunter. The hide Of this animal makes
en- excellent rug. Scarcely a ranch in
the whole Rocky mountain region is
without mountain lion skin ON the
floor. One cattle ranch on Powder river
has every room carpeted with handsome
skins Of this animal. The hide is bright
brown on the back and rump, but fades
away into soft white brown toward the
sides and becomes almost pure white
under the belly. The tail is tipped with
white and the head, eyes, ears, nose and
features are an exact reproduction of the
domestic cat on larger scale. The feet
and claws are like those of "Tom and
Maria. "-MontdnG Correspondent Phil

Life is never all work or sorrow; and
happy hours, helpful pleasures, are merci-
fully given like wayside springs TO pilgrims
trudging YEARLY along.
Life is too short for any bitter feeling;
Time is the best avepger, if we wait;
The years speed by, and on their wings bear
healing;
We have no room for anything like hate.
This solemn truth the low mounds seem re-
yealing
That thick and fast about our feet are steal
ing

A CLOCK OLE SKELETONS.

We are ted of a strange clock that is
said to have belonged to Hindoo prince.
A large gong was hung on poles near the
dial, and all about upon the ground lay a
pile Of artificial human heads, ribs, legs
and arms. The whole number of bones
in the pile was equal to the number of
bones IN twelve perfect bodies, but the
pile appeared to have been thrown to-
gether in the greatest confusion. When
the hands of the clock indicated the hour
of one, out from the pile crawled first the
number of parts needed to form the frame
of one man, part coming to part with
quick click, and when completed the fig
ure spraDg up, seized mallet, and, walk
ing up to the gong, struck one blow.
This done he returned to the pile and
fell to pieces again. When 2 o'clock
came two arose and did likewise; and at
the hours of noon and midnight the en-
tire heap sprang up, and marching to the
gong, struck one after another his blow,
making twelve in all, then returning fell
to pieces as before.-Popular Science

Farming don't pay" says the old fogy

crumbliug house, and counts the snow
crowd into the crevices which are left
open because he was too thrftless to en-
deavor to save his structure.
Earning don't pay" the farmer who
depends on the sunny side of a straw
stack for warmth to his stock, and the
corners of rail fence to break the force
of the winds.
Earning don't pay" the farmer who
breeds hog with bristled back and long
tusks, to eat his corn at Il loss, and re-
turn to him no income 1t does not pay
him to attempt to pasture few miserable
scraggy sheep on pennyrOyal and sorrel,
and to Craze his pigmy cows on broom,
sedge and dry crab grass, and yet expect
them to yield milk and butter. 1t does
not pay to raise colts by weaving at birth
in order to work the dams during the
day, and feeding them on insufficient
food.
Farming don't pay' when the black
liquids flow off from the barn yard, and
the plow and the harrow are rusting in
the fields, while the fences are rotting and
the barns tumbling to pieces.
Farming don't pay" unless rightly
conducted nor will manufacturing, nor
any kind of business pay, under similar
unfavorable conditions The farmer must
be on the alert. He must keep his farm
in order, grade up his stock, feed for the
best results, and endeavor to annually in
crease his products. Nothing must be
wasted, and everything must be judcious-
ly adapted to special purposes.
Farming does not pay" bnt it depends
on the farmer. The individual is equal
to the farm in value according to the
manner in which he conducts it.
